The FUT technique, once the most commonly utilized method, is considered a more traditional approach to hair transplantation. It typically yields the highest number of grafts in a single session, making it an ideal choice for individuals with extensive hair loss or those seeking significant transformation. Additionally, it boasts a shorter operation time compared to other hair transplant procedures.

During the FUT procedure, the surgeon extracts a strip of skin containing hair follicles and meticulously separates them into follicular units under a microscope. Subsequently, tiny incisions are made in the recipient area of the scalp, and the hair grafts are individually inserted into the balding or thinning areas. Within a few weeks, the transplanted hair follicles naturally begin to grow, resulting in typically natural-looking outcomes.

The FUT hair transplant procedure proves to be an effective method for hair restoration, offering excellent outcomes. However, selecting a qualified and experienced hair transplant surgeon is paramount to achieving desired results while minimizing the risk of complications.

What to Expect from COVA FUT

Hair restoration procedures are tailored to each individual’s needs. Your COVA Hair Board-Certified surgeon will guide you through the process using various FUT methods.

  • Preoperative Assessment: Before the procedure, a comprehensive assessment of your medical history and hair loss pattern will be conducted.
  • Anesthesia: Local anesthesia will numb both the donor and recipient areas of the scalp during the procedure.
  • Hair Harvesting: A strip of skin is removed from the donor area and dissected into follicular units.
  • Hair Transplantation: Individual follicular units are inserted into small incisions in the recipient area.
  • Recovery: Expect soreness, tenderness, and swelling post-surgery, with bandages worn for a few days.
  • Postoperative Care: Antibiotics and painkillers may be prescribed to reduce infection risk and discomfort.
  • Hair Growth: New hair growth typically begins after four to six months, with full results visible after one year.
